Hi guys as said in one of my previous threads trying to grow up and get a grown up but fast car have narrowed down to these two. Anyone had any experience of the two give any insight into how they feel or drive?________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

If you can afford an M5, Get it.M5 and Rs4 are in different leagues. Which m5 is it? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

they don't do the E39 in touring shape so it'll be the E61 shape at a guess________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Indeed.  In which case i assume youve looked at the running costs? They are again in a different league to a RS4. Its basically a supercar engine in a normal looking car. They can do like 9mpg in the town :/ Read this loads of good info http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1076816&d=0 ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

i can't see the RS4 being much different in real world terms. both V8's vs V10's or whatever the M5 is, 4wd vs RWD, double vanos units on the BMW but so what  i've had load sof problems with Vanos units and rebuilding M3 engines but so what when you're buying that sort of car you accept it's going to financial ruin you but for the 4 weeks a year when the car's not broken down they're awesome and untouchable on the road almost________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Yep but still not sure i want rear wheel drive though know exactly what I'll be doing every roundabout and at £300 odd quid. rear tyre not sure I'm so keen on the m5. Rs4 would be the v8 as i can pick one of them up with around 60000 miles for the sort of budget I'm looking at. Yep m5 would be the v10 which puts me off slightly other than noise! Ricky Rs3 is too small and a freind who has one to be frank isn't that impressed a remapped S3 isn't far off it and it made me laugh when he was charged £600 for front pads. ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

Dunno, The audi will be cheaper to maintain and fuel i'd have thought, M5 is an RS6 competitor. RS4 is in the M3's league ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

I did think of them but can't find any of them in estate model for non ridiculous money. the other option is a 335d m sport estate with a remap won't be far off the performance of the rs4 I wouldn't of thought.________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
